Is this absolutely necessary? Or is there something that I am doing wrong?  I have several mosaics being served from this WMS server, and it appears to be the same with all of them.  

MapProxy just adds the layers to the WMS URL. So it will request http://localhost/cgi-bin/layerName.cgi?service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=layerName&...
You should look at your CGI wrapper/MapServer config.
